OTHER ARTISAN PRODUCERS

Good People Brewing Company – My favorite brewery in Bama! I’m not just saying that. There is a reason we chose to host the dinner there and pair all of the courses with their beers. They supplied our wonderful dinner space and the following excellent beers in order: Bearded Lady, American Pale Ale, American Brown Ale, Snake Handler, & Coffee Oatmeal Stout. They have many more. Go try them!

Octane Coffee – Supplied the coffee beans that were candied, added to the cheesecake crust, and were in the Coffee Oatmeal Stout. By far the best coffee and espresso in the Southeast! In addition, they have excellent breakfast, pastries, a full bar, and a great craft beer selection. Oh, and rosé and riesling on tap!

Stone Hollow Farmstead – Supplied the wonderful chevre that went into the cheesecake. They so soo much more. Check their website out!

Wright Dairy – Supplied the luscious cream and buttermilk that the creme fraîche was made from.
